API, get syslog alarms list by device id
by Vasiliy Moroz 10 May '21

10 May '21

Dear Observium community, I usе Observium and the more I use it more I love it :) I use the Observium syslog interface for pushing to Observium syslog alerts. For now, I am developing customer personal web service where they could see their telecom services on the map with nodes states like ok, critical. There are on the map presented only part of the telco network their services go through. By API I get nodes' location and state so can show it on the map with nodes connections from my customer database. Except for alarms Observium gets by syslog integration. Is there any way to get syslog alerts by API and device id? I could analyze syslog alerts and set proper node status by syslog alerts if they are accessible. As I know it is impossible.

LLDP collection from Arista switches
by Lars Joergensen 07 May '21

07 May '21

Hi guys We're looking at the Port -> Map view of our Aristas to determine what's connected to them. But this map seems to lack information compared to what we can see directly on the switch. Any information I can provide that would help in troubleshooting this? Lars ________________________________ Disclaimer: This e-mail, including any attachments, is for the intended recipient only.

Observium device discovery
by Christopher N Callison 05 May '21

05 May '21

I have a Cisco 9130axi AP that is running in embedded controller mode. I am not able to monitor traffic or user statistics on the WLANs like I did with my WLC2504. I do not see any wireless related MIBS attached to the device. Is there a way to force discovery for certain features or MIBS? Or do I have to add my own custom OID? Chris

Google Secure LDAP - Working with a hack
by Pieter De Wit 04 May '21

04 May '21

Hi Guys, I have Google Secure LDAP working with Observium, but it requires a hack and hopefully the devs can implement this into the code base (after fixing my even more of my hacky hacks :) ) In config.php: $config['auth_ldap_server']="ldap://127.0.0.1:1636”; // We using the stunnel method $config['auth_ldap_port'] = 1636; // Not needed - at least, not that I could find $config['auth_ldap_starttls']=false; // Implemented with stunnel $config['auth_ldap_suffix'] = ",ou=Secure_LDAP,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com”; // Fix this for your domain unset ($config['auth_ldap_groups']); $config['auth_ldap_groups']['cn=observium']['level'] = 10; // Google does something funky with “groups" In html/includes/authentication/ldap.inc.php: After line 932: else { $filter="(&(".$dn.")".ldap_filter_create ($attribute, $value).")"; $ret=ldap_search ($ds,”dc=example,dc=com",$filter); // TODO : We need to figure out if ($ret !==FALSE) { $compare=TRUE; } } In a nutshell, ldap_compare doesn’t work for Google Secure LDAP - pretty much like https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3611 <https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3611> but then, if the ldap_read fails, we fallback to just doing a search for the “group” and where memberUid is the username provided. It might be worthwhile to look into setting a LDAP type variable and reacting to that. Hopefully this makes sense :) Cheers, Pieter

Google Secure LDAP
by Pieter De Wit 04 May '21

04 May '21

Hi Everyone, Has anyone got Observium to authenticate against Google Secure LDAP *and* return a usable user level ? My authentication passes, but I always end up with a user level of 0. I am using the stunnel method to try and simplify things. Thanks, Pieter

I’m failing hard at finding this one….specifically, I need to debug LDAP membership for authentication :) Thanks :)

Observium Backups
by Terry Stone 04 May '21

04 May '21

When backing up rrd with tar zcvf observium-rrd.tar.gz rrd I get the following message: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names Is this OK or should I use the --absolute-names option? Also I am getting some messages saying file changed as we read it. This is understandable but do i need to do anything while running the backup to stop this from happening? Thanks in advance.

CBQOS Class Names only show "/"
by Evan Alexandre 03 May '21

03 May '21

Hello, I am a new user testing out Observium as a means of monitoring Cisco Class-Based Quality of Service (CBQoS). I have successfully added devices running Cisco IOS-XR 6.6.3 to the system for monitoring. However, the CBQoS tab of my device's ports is currently not showing any name for the different classes of policy maps applied to the ports. Instead, where the name should be, there is only "/ (output)". See attachment for screenshot of this issue. I believe this issue matches the following Jira ticket: https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-3130?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s… Is there a known resolution or workaround this issue? System Details: Observium Version: Observium CE 20.9 OS: CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) Thanks, Evan

Paging on bigger pages
by Pieter De Wit 02 May '21

02 May '21

Hi All, I noted that you can enable paging on the devices pages, but is there a way to enable it on other pages that I have missed ? We have massive load balancer pages that are now causing browsers to crash (had to give the server 32gig of ram to render said pages :) ) Or even a search page would do - anything to make the page smaller :D Thanks !
